There's no better way to end our very last day as Four Paws Veterinary Holistic Service than with a visit from sweet Alice! 🥰

Alice has been a regular patient of Dr. Lord for a full year now and always brings a smile to everyone's faces.

We look forward to seeing her, and all of our patients, again starting next week when we open our doors as The Integrative Veterinary Center of Richmond !! ☮️

Happy Friday!!! ☮️

To round out our team at The Integrative Veterinary Center of Richmond, please give a warm welcome to Dr. Cresta Jones!!

Dr. Jones graduated from the Virginia Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine at VA Tech in 2001 and has spent the last 21 years developing a strong set of interests including internal medicine, dermatology, soft tissue surgery, and dentistry. During that time she also developed a passion for a more integrative approach to pet wellness and completed her acupuncture training in 2015. Since then she has been enjoying her journey, becoming a more fully integrative practitioner with an interest in food therapy and herbal medicine.

She is thrilled to be joining the team at IVC and cannot wait to share her approach to medicine with her clients and patients!

We can't wait for our clients, old and new, to meet Dr. Jones in October!! 🙂

Welcome, Dr. Dayton!!! ☮️

As everyone has heard, we'll be expanding services and evolving into The Integrative Veterinary Center of Richmond in October.

We wanted to introduce everyone to one of the doctors who will be joining us for this new chapter.

Please help us welcome Dr. Megan Dayton Milford!

Dr. Dayton is a Hokie undergrad and did her training at Oklahoma State University, graduating in 2015. Since this time, she has primarily worked as a conventional practitioner. Her areas of interest include surgery, dermatology, pain management, and preventative medicine. She has had the opportunity to work with and learn from multiple integrative practitioners, including Dr. Lord. This has exposed her to the benefits of holistic/complementary medicine and influenced her practice style. She is excited to continue expanding this knowledge base and her integrative approaches in her new home at IVC. She prides herself on providing high quality care to both her patients and clients.

We're so excited for our clients and patients, old and new, to meet her 😀

Working together, our common goal is to provide progressive, thorough, and thoughtful integrative medical care for our patients, and professional advice for our clients. Recommendations for diagnostics, treatment protocols, and even vaccines are patient specific, with emphasis placed on quality of life.

This expansion will be taking place at our new location!

Thank you to our friends at FETCH a Cure for bringing awareness to all the ways holistic medicine can help care for our cancer patients 💖

For National Holistic Pet Day, we're taking the opportunity to highlight a few options within the holistic approach to cancer care in our pets, including the following modalities: Acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ozone Therapy, Vitamin C Therapy, supplements, and nutrition. These therapies can optimize a pet's quality of life and support immune health before, during, or after other forms of cancer treatment.
